Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention is capable of stirring and transferring compost materials in adjacent compost tanks in different directions at the same time using the simple running action of a single agitator, thereby producing a large amount of material even in a small installation area. The present invention relates to a compost production device that can efficiently produce compost.

Compost material consisting of livestock excrement, etc. is stored in a horizontally elongated compost tank, and the compost material is stirred and transferred sequentially from one direction to the other by a reciprocating agitator, while promoting the propagation of aerobic fermentation bacteria. Equipment for producing good compost by evaporating the moisture contained in the compost by heating the compost and stirring the compost has been well known.

By the way, in conventional production equipment of this type, all the compost tanks for storing compost materials were formed into one horizontally long shape, so when trying to increase the capacity of compost materials, the compost tank was moved horizontally. It has been increasing for a long time.

Therefore, when producing a large amount of compost, it is necessary to install a processing chamber with a large area.The longer the compost tank is, the longer the agitator will take to travel back and forth. This also makes it impossible to achieve evapotranspiration, resulting in the drawback that high-quality compost cannot be produced quickly, and there is a strong desire to improve this problem.

In view of the above, the present invention has been developed by installing compost tanks that store compost materials adjacently, so that even if the installation area is small, a large amount of compost materials can be stored. Conveyors are disposed at the left and right end positions, and agitators are movably mounted on each adjacent compost tank to agitate and transfer the compost materials in different directions at the same time.
The compost material in each of the adjacent compost tanks is transferred in one direction while being sequentially stirred by the running operation of the agitator, which consists of a machine, and even when a large amount of compost material is stored,
The present invention aims to provide a compost manufacturing device that not only promotes composting by increasing the number of stirrings but also promotes evapotranspiration and quickly produces good compost in a short period of time. The configuration of the device of the present invention will be described below with reference to a preferred embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

Reference numerals 1', 1'', . . . are compost tanks in which the stored compost material is not stirred but is sequentially transferred in one direction to produce fully ripened compost, and the compost tank 1' ,1
``...'' are formed in a relatively short oblong shape with an open upper surface and both left and right sides, and are arranged adjacent to each other.

Compost tanks 1' are installed adjacent to each other.

Transport machines 2 and 3 for transporting the compost material to the next transport location are disposed on both the left and right sides of 1''.

In this embodiment, the above-mentioned conveyors 2 and 3 are constructed by rotatably housing transfer screws 6 and 7 in conveyor troughs 4 and 5 whose upper halves are open, respectively. The conveying troughs 4 and 5 are arranged in an inclined manner in opposite directions, and a drawer lid 8 is provided on the conveying end side of one of the troughs 4, and the bowed lid 8 is pulled out. Sometimes the compost can be taken outside.

The conveyors 2 and 3 may be of any type as long as they can sequentially convey the transferred compost material and fully ripened compost to the next process, so their configuration is not limited to the embodiment illustrated above. (Anything can be used.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an agitator capable of simultaneously stirring and transferring the compost materials contained in the compost tanks 1', 1'', etc. in opposite directions; The main body 10 is moved back and forth in the left-right direction over the compost tank 1', 1'' by a roller 11 rotated by the power of an electric motor 14, and the main body 10 is accommodated in the compost tank 1', 1''. The rotary shaft 12 is equipped with a large number of stirring claws 13 that can transport the compost material in different directions while stirring it.

Therefore, the rollers 11 are mounted on the side walls of the compost tanks 1', 1'' and roll.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a compost material carrying gutter whose tip is oriented towards the supply start end side of the compost tank 1'.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

In Figure 1, after a suitable compost material consisting of livestock manure or a mixture of livestock manure and organic matter is continuously introduced into the supply start end of the compost tank 1' through the compost material delivery gutter 15, the left and right positions are The conveyors 2, 3 and the agitator 9 provided in the 1st stage are started.

Then, the compost material supplied by the reciprocating action of the agitator 9 is sequentially transferred within the compost tank 1' while being stirred in the direction of the solid arrow while forming a deposited layer of an appropriate thickness.
After falling into the conveyor gutter 5 from the end, the next compost tank 1
The material is supplied to the transfer starting end side of ``, and is sequentially stirred and transferred in the opposite direction by the agitator 9, which moves back and forth, while being in a piled state, and finally falls into the transfer gutter 4, and is transferred to an appropriate location via the transfer screw 6. It performs the function of being excreted.

Therefore, the compost material continuously supplied through the compost material inlet trough 15 is stirred and mixed many times as it is sequentially transferred to the discharge side through the compost tanks 1' and 1'' by the reciprocating action of the agitator 9. As a result, the aerobic fermentation bacteria in the compost material rapidly propagate and become compost, and the excess water contained in the compost material is evaporated and evaporated by the generated composting heat and stirring action. , it is possible to continuously obtain high-quality compost, and when compost materials are stored in the compost tanks 1' and 1'', the compost materials in the compost tanks 1' and 1'' can be removed simply by the reciprocating action of the agitator 9.・ can be transferred in different directions at the same time under stirring conditions to promote work efficiency.

In addition, if the compost discharged from the compost tank 1'' has not reached a predetermined degree of maturity, the drawer lid 8 is closed, and the compost is returned and supplied to the compost tank 1' on the feed starting point side by the conveyor 2 to reach full ripeness again. All you have to do is aim for it.

In short, the present invention consists of compost tanks 1' installed adjacent to each other.

Conveyors 2 and 3 are respectively disposed at the left and right end positions of the compost tanks 1', 1'', etc. adjacent to each other.
... Compost tanks 1', 1'' can accommodate a large amount of compost material even with a small installation area because a stirrer 9 that can stir and transfer compost materials in different directions at the same time is mounted on the top so that it can move. The compost material stored in the respective compost tanks 1', 1'', etc., which are installed adjacent to each other, allows for easy production of large amounts of compost by making it possible to set... are all stirred and transferred in different directions at the same time by the simple reciprocating action of the agitator 9, which consists of one unit, allowing the stirring and transfer of the compost materials to be carried out efficiently and orderly, thereby promoting composting and evapotranspiration. As a result, high-quality compost can be continuously obtained within a short period of time.
